Once on the fence, Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels flip-flopped and endorsed former President Donald Trump in any 2024 bid.
When asked by a voter at an Aug. 1, 2022 town hall Michels declines to say whether he would back a Donald Trump bid for president in 2024.
A day later, Michels tells a crowd in Kaukauna: “If he runs in 2024, if he does, I will support him and I will endorse him.”Once Republican Tim Michels won the party’s nomination for governor, things began changing. In the primary, Michels was endorsed by Donald Trump, and at a pre-election rally with the former president, Michels said:"The very first thing, my number one priority is election integrity.":"From my first day in office, to my very last day as governor, jobs and the economy are gonna be my number one priority."— for at least a brief time — the fact that Michels had been endorsed by Trump had disappeared from his webpage.
As with any question about shifting positions, we turn to our Flip-O-Meter. And as we have noted in the past, the Flip-O-Meter does not examine whether any change is good policy or good politics – only if a candidate has been consistent on a position over time.Michels on June 2, 2022 – something that helped launch Michels’ late-starting campaign past that of former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
Charles Franklin, professor of law and public policy and director of the Marquette Law School Poll, told us that after Trump's endorsement,"our June poll showed Michels with a 1 point advantage over Kleefisch, 27% for Michels to 26% for Kleefisch. So that was a very close race after Trump's endorsement."But it was readily apparent in those early months of his campaign that the GOP faithful had not yet rallied around him.
